U/MCAB | REP 6+ | BALL
What: Love At First Sight Ball
Who: NPC Wellingtonshire hostess, for MC/UC society types
Cost: Nope
Where: Wellingtonshire home
Why: Valentine's Day and such
When: 14 February 1894
Most of the party is exactly what you'd expect on Valentine's Day: decor featuring hearts and arrows, punch in shades of red and pink, themed hors d'oeuvres and desserts. Ladies will have their choice of two types of dance cards for the evening (and may see the staff mid-event to swap between them, if desired): a white card, which is nothing more than a slip of paper one would normally use, or a pink card. Gentlemen will likewise have a choice of white or pink carnation for their complimentary boutonniere. If a lady with a pink dance card and a gentleman with a pink boutonniere's eyes meet, they are compelled to spend the next upcoming dance together (love at first sight!) This effect can be repeated, so if a couple isn't careful they may end up spending quite a bit of time together during an evening...
Guests are aware of the effects of the pink cards/flowers. They do not alter anyone's feelings or perceptions, or have any effect beyond being forced to spend your next dance together. The pink cards/flowers are only being handed out to single guests who want them — while it's not entirely out of the question for your character to get one by mistake, it would certainly raise eyebrows if your married/otherwise attached character didn't correct the mistake quickly.
